Nope, not in the java world. Hopefully we will have something like |
17 |
auto*, pkg-config etc in the java world too some day. It seems to be |
18 |
very usual for upstreams to include all the dependencies inside their |
19 |
source packages but the Linux distributions would appreciate if you also |
20 |
distributed a src tarball without these dependencies to save bandwidth |
21 |
and disk space. Packages are not going to use the bundled stuff. |
